Remote paging operations
Connect the projector to your PC or notebook 
with a USB cable prior to using the paging function. 
See Connecting a computer on page 22 for details.
You can operate your display software program (on 
a connected PC) which responds to page up/down 
commands (like Microsoft PowerPoint) by pressing 
PAGE UP/DOWN on the remote control. 
If remote paging function doesnt work, check if the 
USB connection is correctly made and the mouse 
driver on your computer is updated to the latest 
version.
Hiding the image
In order to draw the audiences full attention to the 
presenter, you can use BLANK on the projector or 
remote control to hide the screen image. Press any 
key on the projector or remote control to restore 
the image. The word BLANK appears at the screen 
while the image is hidden. When this function is 
activated with an audio input connected, the audio 
can still be heard.
You can set the blank time in the 
SYSTEM 
SETUP: Basic > Operation Settings > Blank Timer menu to let the projector 
return the image automatically after a period of time when there is no action taken on the 
blank screen. The length of time can be set from 5 to 30 minutes in 5-minute increments.
• Do not block the projection lens from projecting as this could cause the blocking object to 
become heated.
• No matter Blank Timer is activated or not, you can press any key (except the 
PAGE UP/

still hear the audio even though the image is frozen 
on screen.

heating. In cases like this, you should switch to High Altitude mode to solve these 
symptoms. However, this is not to state that this projector can operate under any and all 
harsh or extreme conditions.
